Hello,

I have a file in my plugin that I am trying to read. I am using
getClass().getResource() to load the file but always get
NullPointerException. What's the input string to getResource() should be
to correctly identify the file? I am trying to pass the whole package
path to the file, but nothing works.

thanks,
Alex

Alex,

Most often you'd use a path that doesn't start with "/" to look up the
resource in the same folder as the .class file itself.

Thanks Ed,

Right, the file that is in the same package as executing class I can
get, but I meant file in the plugin's root directory:

com.ak.myplugin:
src
xslt
file.xslt

I want to read file.xslt from class in src directory.

Also, when I create file from with the executing class' directory:

URL url = this.getClass().getResource("file.xslt");
File file = new File(url.toString());

I get file with path:

bundleresource:\1187\com\ak\wizard\file.xslt

Then, when I try to read this file using BufferedReader, the file cannot
be found.

thanks,
Alex

Alex,

I think you'd use this.getClass().getResource("/file.xslt") but you
can't assume that the URL that comes back is a file: URL. It could be a
jar, or as you see, an OSGi-specific scheme. Can't you use
URL.openStream directly? You could also use a URL of the form
platform:/plugin/<plugin-ID>/file.xslt directly and open the stream for
that.
